Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.

As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

This is good! Better than what I've expected! Bon-chan's one of the best friendship that Luffy have! Ivankov is quite funny, and everyone's out of the jail! Wohoo, Crocodile! Jimbei!!!!

"My emotions! My emotions!" I think that is the best description of my state after reading this. I forgot how good Impel Down is for its characters and especially Bon Clay. That swan boi destroyed my emotions. The core of One Piece is the characters and emotions and their journey. Now that Luffy is alone, we meet past enemies and it brings so much on the table. Luffy's friendship with Bon is just intoxicating with love, care, respect and devotion beyond limits.

The fight between Luffy and Magellan is so well done, it is haunting and terrifying how easily he fell. Other great additions to this roster of escapees are Ivankov and Jimbei and Crocodile, brining so much variety and different motivations.

This volume felt like a large crescendo to the next couple of volumes. It feels things are getting serious and we may have a war coming up. I loved the build up of the suspense. I also love seeing how a friendship Luffy had made out of an enemy in a volume way back has paid off in this volume. I do feel like things are starting to drag with everything going on in Impel Down. However, things are looking really promising for the next volume!

Me gusta mucho este volumen 🥹💜 el poder de la amistad, Bon chan arriesgando su vida para intentar salvar a Luffy, huyendo porque si el logra escapar de la batalla contra Magellan podía volver para salvar a Luffy. Y aún así le dolía escapar 💜 después luchando contra los lobos y más tarde acompañar a Luffy en el dolor mientras le da ánimos. Es que Bon chan es el mejor ❤️‍🩹 y todavía no ha hecho lo más genial 🥺

Apareció iva, la reina del reino Kamabaka y el nivel 5.5
Me voy a saltar cosas, total con lo de Bonchan ya hay suficiente referencia. Ahora Ace se dirige a Marineford, Luffy va tras él junto Iva, si ejército y la recién adquirida ayuda de Crocodile y Jimbe.
Por otra parte Buggy está liberando los prisioneros de la planta dos.

This arc is awesome. It’s pure intense adrenaline with so many familiar faces popping back up. Probably one of the best arcs in all of One Piece!!

IMPEL DOWN ARC - PART 2
1. shanks versus kaido, another one of the four emperors. everything is getting really really risky

2. luffy and the pirates he all defeated joined up (mr. 2 bon clay is a real one). also i'm pretty sure level four is as hot as iraq, at which case, i would survive

3. it's fucking crazy how incompetent the navy sometimes is. prisoners have opened up a new floor called new kama land, regularly stealing prisoners away, and the navy is none the wiser. i would LOVE to have the hormone fruit, that is actually so goated and helpful in so many situations. also, mr. 2 bon clay - i really do like him, and he fiercely believes in luffy. that is the meaning of friendship!! it transcends all difficulties

4. i go crazy when people miss each other by mere seconds. just as luffy arrived at level 6, they've taken the elevator up to level 1 again. THIS IS EXCRUCIATING

One Piece, Vol. 55 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (533–541) of the on-going manga series.

This tankōbon continues the Impel Down Arc. Monkey D. Luffy is found by Magellan – the warden of Impel Down, who uses his abilities to poison to bring Luffy to the brink of death. Luffy's old friend Bon Clay (Baroque Works) locates the inmate Emporio Ivankov to heal him, but his recovery takes several hours. When he wakes up he finds Portgas D. Ace has already been taken to Marine Headquarters for execution.

Determined to save him, Luffy rallies the support of Iva and two of Impel Down's most dangerous prisoners: Sir Crocodile and Jimbei. Together they lead a prison break that spreads throughout Impel Down.

This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Eiichirō Oda. For the most part it is written and constructed rather well. It continues the Impel Down Arc that has Monkey D. Luffy confronting Magellan, who has the ability that allows him to generate and manipulate poison as well as making him immune to any type of poison. After his recovery, Luffy hears that Portgas D. Ace, his brother, has already been moved to Headquarters getting ready to be executed. So, he plans a prison break to focus everyone’s attention away from his brother.

All in all, One Piece, Vol. 55 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more.

“Man or woman or both, be whatever you want to be!! I’ve already shattered the borders of gender! We all have!” -Iva

This volume is a great example of why I love this series! There are so many characters within this saga, yet they are each unique and compelling. There’s a drag queen who defies gender, a nonbinary ballerina who is kind and strong, and our main character Luffy respects them and cares for them. What I’m saying is that Luffy is the kind of ally we need in all shonen manga✨

I need to take a break because I'm getting very disillusioned about why some people class this as one of if not the best manga of all time. This ain't it.

I can deal with/look past lazy character designs and poor characterisation to a certain extent. But it is starting to get really egregious and it's starting to effect the storytelling in large part.

Volume 55: Chapter 533-541
Saga 6: Summit War
Arc 21: Impel Down

Luffy, Bon Clay, Buggy and Mr. 3 arrived at Level 4. Chief Warden, Magellan started to deploy their guards to block the exits.

Luffy fights Magellan. Magellan used Doku Doku no Mi that he can emits poison from his body. Luffy lose the fight and being thrown to Level 5. Bon Clay is coming back and saving Luffy. They were attacked by a pack of fierce wolf. Once again, Luffy used his Haoshoku no Haki.

Both of them were saved by Emporio Ivankov and Inazuma. They were brought to the secret level, Level 5.5 also known as New Kama Land. Ivankov can change people's gender. So, basically, he/she is the lord of transvestite. Lol. (Rainbow people might love this arc 💩).

Ivankov save Luffy by taking his 10 years of life. Ivankov is from Revolutionary Army and knows that Luffy is Dragon's son. He then helps Luffy going to Level 6 where the most notorious criminals were prisoned. The names including Shiryuu, former Impel Down's Chief Warden, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot and Avallo Pizarro.

Ace was transferred to the execution site, Marineford. Luffy, Ivankov and Inazuma released Crocodile and Jinbe to help them. They also released numerous other prisoners to cause an uproar.

Un gran tomo con un buen ritmo donde Oda nos obsequia los momentos cumbre dentro de la prisión infernal para Luffy y algunos prisioneros.
No me gustó lo fortuito de algunos sucesos, pero ya debería de estar acostumbrado a lo coincidental pues se trata de One Piece. Tampoco me gustó que el resto de los nakama no aparezcan nada de nada. Pero Oda logra contrarrestar el cariño que uno podría tenerle a estos personajes al introducir un nuevo equipo para Luffy, al menos de manera temporal espero, conformado por Buggy, No. 3 y el Okama, Bon Clay. Además, por si fuera poco, al terminar el volumen, Oda mejora bastante este equipo con la adición de un miembro más, un poco inesperado pero verlo interactuar con Luggy es increíble.
Me gustó mucho el protagonismo que se le da al Okama en este tomo. Un poco demasiado extraño todos esos capítulos con el Rey de los Okama y la dimensión Okama, pero me reí mucho. Este tomo tiene un gran balance entre lo épico, lo emotivo, la acción y un gran ritmo. El Okama nos regala muy buenos momentos de acción y emotividad.
Si Oda sigue con el resto de los tomos así, definitivamente la Guerra será mi arco favorito de One Piece hasta ahora, la manera en la que ha balanceado las emociones con la acción, sólo puede ser obra de un verdadero maestro.

Its the breakout saga, as luffy is navigating the prison to search for his brother, he goes through the various levels and meets up with Mr 2, Mr 3 and even Buggy and ultimately stumbles onto Ivankov (gender bender dude) and like he helps him out to get cured after his fight with the warden and thus this volume is mostly the story about what he does now, how he defeats different people by teaming up with former Schibukai Crocodile and Jinbe and thus beginning of the marineford saga! Its epic and like really long read, seems like Oda has put his all into this arc and it shows!

3.5 Sterne

Es wird weiterhin besser (bis auf manche Aspekte, die zumindest bis jetzt noch etwas fragwürdig scheinen), aber es ist immer noch, bzw wieder, so viel los, dass ich einfach zu überfordert bin, um die Geschichte momentan geniessen zu können. Es passiert und passiert einfach immer weiter.

At first I was like: "Huh?? Wtf? Okay, now Oda's finally going too far."
The next chapter I was like: "Oh. No. Should have trusted Oda. This is kinda cool."
